Lighthouses!

Monday, 11/8

We got a lovely morning. Lots of pictures. The sun was just rising. I was mesmerized watching the waves, so lots of wave pics.

Click on the galleries below to bring up scrollable windows with full size pictures – the gallery previews may show just thumbnails of the pictures.

Another walk to the Point

After the walk, it was off to Newport for lunch preceded by a stop at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, jointly run by the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management. You didn’t think you were going to avoid looking at pictures of Yaquina Head Lighthouse, did you? Also pictures of Cobble Beach and the seals playing at Quarry Cove. This is a fun area to visit.

Then it was on to a repeat lunch at Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach. We had the same meal as last time.

After lunch we stopped in Depoe Bay so Elaine could shop at her favorite sock store while I had a double deck Tillamook ice cream cone. It was high tide, and the sun was bright. The waves were crashing into the sea wall, creating a rainbow effect. I snapped a few pictures with my phone.

Finally it was home for a quiet afternoon. Tomorrow will be packing day. There may or may not be a post. I’ll probably post from somewhere the three-night (Klamath Falls, Reno, Las Vegas) ride home, but I don’t think we will stop at any photo worthy sites. But you never know. I’ll make a final post when we get home.
